Getting started with any new software, especially one as powerful and rich in content as ChessBase can be a daunting affair. The very idea of opening a manual, reading a help file, is anathema to many players, and as a result they try to pick it up by just clicking and poking around leading to an unsatisfying affair with it. However there is no need for this. The truth is that even experienced, knowledgeable users will spend 90% of their time on a core set of tools and functions, which don't require a PhD in ChessBase Science.
In the following video tutorial you will be shown around these functions and how to use them in a workflow, while teaching how to even customize the workspace such as resizing windows or moving them around. Don't be left scratching your head and wondering, 'Now what?'
